Tears Song Contest 2018

Tears Song Contest 2018 will be the sophomore edition of the Tears Song Contest, a song contest exclusively allowing sad and/or slow songs from all around Maia.

Rules
The rules of the contest, as the FLBS unveiled them, are similar to the basic Maia Song Contest rules. A maximum number of 26 countries will be put in place, preventing a Semi-Final from being held.

To be able to compete, you need to have participated at least in one Maia Song Contest or one if its spin-offs.

The song must respect those following rules :
 * Being of a sad and/or slow nature
 * Having less than 300 million views on YouTube
 * Not having previously competed in Maia Song Contest or one of its spin-offs
 * Not having previously competed in the Eurovision Song Contest or Turkvizyon

Location
The second edition of the Tears Song Contest will take place in Ágá, Izola, due to BANKS's victory in the previous edition.

Active MBU countries

 * Arkaystia will not debut due to 99% of the population stating they're "not depressed enough" to watch the contest.
